Hi Guys,

I wanted to buy a Swift, and I test drive drive a CBU unit year 2006, looks like it is not keyless. Forget to ask the car dealer. Do some CBU unit don't come with keyless ? And did it come with immobilizer ?
*
I am currently considering to part with my Swift, it is a grey CKD 2010 unit with keyless and steering wheel audio control.

I am looking to upgrade my current ride to a bigger one since we got a baby at the end of last year, space is now a contraint with all the baby stuff that we need to bring along for a trip. Not really urgent to change but we have been looking around for cars for a while already. The Swift is still in great condition so it is quite hard to let it go at the trade-in price asked by the dealers. Keeping both cars is also an option but it would put quite a big hole in our monthly spending since the installment for a bigger car would be higher than the payment for the Swift.

I don't think Swift has a bad FC. Unless I rev the car hard, the FC is quite good and comparable to my brother's Vios. I can get quite a good FC because I can carry the speed through corners, no need to brake as much.

Very good advice bro.... rclxms.gif
Guys, My student loan for Ford Fiesta has been rejected....  cry.gif

So i've no choice but to buy my first love, which is the Swift...

Thinking of buying 2nd hand 2010 unit....
Price around 55k t0 60k....
Then I saw the Mudah.my ad that the prev. forumer posted...

Dafuq.... super cheap...

So I started thinking, whether to choose the 2nd hand 2010 model or go for this GX with bodykit+leather seats+Navi HU... and of course the 5 years warranty and free service...

But then, i started thinking about the auto retractable side mirror, 2 speakers (can install more rite ?) and keyless go....

Can i atleast install the auto retractable side mirror somewhere ?

This is bugging me now.... sad.gif
* also does the 2010 model comes with USB/AUX input ?

Thanks...
*
I posted this a few pages back. In case you are interested, you can pm me, the car is all original no mod done. I've been using the car for two years already but haven't found the USB input yet so I think no USB port. AUX input is available if not mistaken but never used it before. The HU looks like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Swift_Dzire_dashboard.jpg

I think Swift Sport can only use RON97, might be wrong though.

Hello everyone,
I'm planning to get a Swift with Manual transmission but I know that 1.5L Swift only come with Auto transmission.
Is there any way I can change the gearbox to manual?
or I must choose 1.6L Swift Sport in order to get a manual transmission?
and why is the Suzuki website no longer have Swift Sport model in their page? blink.gif

Another big question mark in my head that I hope you guys could help me out..
Is it ALL of the Swift Sport are imported unit(CBU) from Japan?
as I know normal 1.5L Swift has CBU and CKD but I'm not sure about the Swift Sport  rclxub.gif
and how to differentiate between which is CBU and which is CKD Swift?

Thx =)
*
Swift Sport was always CBU, current 1.5L Swift (brand new) are all CKD. Current generation Swift Sport has stopped production already since it has been replaced by the latest generation. If you still want a manual Swift, you have no other choice than searching in the used car market for a manual Swift Sport.

I know what u mean ady...
swift RPM dun hv cut off.. we can press till as high as we can ...
like u said "dun let go of your fuel pedal, lol"....

but i just try till 5000rpm only... wahkakakka..tongue.gif

lcy851031,

u prefer smooth driving.. good driver...
but sometime speeding help to release tension & had fun & excitement...
like tat only fun ma...

btw, ur full tank can run how many km's?

I practise top-up petrol with 10:1 (ron95:ron97) to take care the engine.  any opinion?
*
10:1 meaning 10 times fill with 95, 1 time fill with 97? I don't think this will have any effect on engine durability. RON97 will only give additional power compared to ROM95 if the engine management system can take an advantage of it. However RON 95 can cause engine damage through knocking if the engine is not tuned to it, e.g. high compression ratio engine.

Oh ic..Thx for the great info! ;D
btw new model the signal is at side mirror..if lets say i wanna change to ganardo side mirror with no signal, whr can i find the fender with signal hole and the signal itself, does suzuki service center have the replacement part?
What else different between old and new model? keyless, auto flip side mirror + signal and????  hmm.gif
oh ya! swift sport come with traction control function right?  drool.gif

now I got 2 choices running in my mind..
1st - get a 2nd hand 1.5 swift auto then slowly transplant to 1.6 swift sport manual plus convert everything to swift sport
2nd - straight get a 2nd hand 1.6 swift sport manual and peace of mind
but..after some calculation, transplant and convert will be cheaper at the end of everything compared to straight getting a 1.6 swift sport. Just that I have to put the car in workshop that require lots of time and who knows, problems might happen during transplant process plus quite a number of procedures/documents to do.

so which one would be a better choice? nid recommendation from all sifus here  tongue.gif
*
Engine transplant is never a straight forward thing. Unless your hobby is tweaking and modding the car, better let the factory does it for you. Meaning you should straight buy Swift Sport if you don't enjoy messing around with your car constantly.

Prior to current GX and GLX variant, there was only one variant available. Spec wise is similar to current GLX but the look is the same as the current GX, meaning without the new front and rear bumpers as well as the tail lights.

You sure it's a beauty? The sound of RM3/L Ron97 fuel getting burnt is not that pretty of you look at your wallet.

Ppls who usually opt for the performance doesn't really bother about the FC anyway.
There are SSSs who can only reach 200+km per tank, but that's how the way they wan their car to perform.
MacPherson is the Strut, Monroe is the suspension.
Yes SSS comes with Monroe, it's stiffer, and slightly taller than SS.
Do note that the 4 disc brakes do make a different tho.
Juz get the sport directly, or else juz wait for the ZC32S, estimated around 115-120k new.

Getting a half cut already costs u like 7-10k including gearbox.
While adding all the crazy mods u have planned, I'd say 20-30k at least?
The new SS priced 64k is KOSONG, + your 20k its about 80k already.
Year 2010 SSS is now around 70k un-modded, you do the math and make the call.
*
SSS is not exactly a performance car, it's a hot hatch but the fun is at the handling side and less at the power side. Power wise I think the 4AGE black top can easily match the SSS fun factor.

Actually, define your performance car?
I think that is just basically an engine part.

For wat I think, SSS does a very good job among the cars under his category.
And they are JWRC qualified, which what makes me think that it IS performance based.
Which lead to, handling, tweaked engine, build, chassis, material, etc etc.
*
By this definition, Satria Neo would also qualify as a performance car. Not saying that SSS is a bad car but I still do not consider it as a performance car.

For me performance car must have high power output or high power to weight ratio. If handling alone, then a go cart can be considered a performance car already. Bare minimum for me to be considered a performance car is the like of Lancer EVO, Subaru WRX, Focus ST, Megane RS. Even Golf GTI is at the borderline by my definition.

To all Swifter.

I'm planning to get a SS as well, but yesterday i was told by d SA that d old model SS GLX ody discontinued. and the showroom only left 1 last car. for GLX model. his reason is that they r pushing d GX model in d market. is this source reliable? since i didn't  hear any news bout it.. btw, I'm in kk area, sabah.

And he also mentioned that new SSS will not come into Malaysia as well.. was hoping that he's just trying to get me to fast2 buy d car..

Thx in advanced.

Could be true since it won't be long till the new model arrives in Malaysia.

I think the new SS will be launching really soon. Today on the way back from work, I saw a truck full of the new SS near the Proton plant.

Any differences new SS with the old SS ?

New one will have 1.4L engine instead of 1.5L. Power slightly lower but better FC. The design is changed quite a lot, not just a facelift. The front of the new one look similar to the newer Audi TT.
